The Word (LOVE) an enouraging forum
2/9/2007 1:42:10 PM
Sometimes, we're a little sloppy about the way we use words. If we're
not careful, it carries over into the way we think. Probably no word
has been more misused, or overused, than the word "love." We talk about
loving ice cream, cake, and cars. We listen to songs about love and
watch actors demonstrate "love" on television.

Why not re-evaluate?

The Bible also talks about love. It describes "love" a little
differently. God's Word describes love this way:

  Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
  or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable,
  and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never
  glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love
  never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures
  through every circumstance" (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT).

If this use of the word "love" doesn't square with the way we have
thought about it before, maybe we need to take a few minutes to
re-evaluate and think again. Why not spend some time looking at your
life and asking yourself if you love this way? And while we're at it,
why not read the story of Jesus and see life lived this way? You can
find his story in any of the four Gospels in your New Testament --
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John!
For you from me Adland Family. Love Thomas R.

Thank you Thomas for this....We do tend to steer away from the true meaning of Love. Love starts from the heart and then travels to endless ideas in our minds. Peace, Sharon

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your post. That is one of my favorite Bible verses. Faith, Hope and Love but the greatest of these is Love. I believe that most problems that people experience are from a lack of love, not having a loving supportive environment and a lack of self love.

Peace, Health and Prosperity,
Barb Doyle, Sc
